Reflections on Ps 83 (Bro Moses Rayappan)

"One day within your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere,
The threshold of the house of God I prefer to the dwellings of the wicked."


People who go fishing often pay attention to their fishing rod, baits and finding a good location to fish. All this however has no guarantee that the person will get a big fish for 3 things could happen. He might go back empty handed, get a small catch in the form of a little fish or prawns or he might just get a big catch. Whatever the outcome is, one thing is certain and that is, he will most certainly talk about his experience to others and chances are he will want to go fishing again.

I guess this is the experience of the psalmist of Psalm 83. He has had a deep and profound encounter with God that he expresses his desire to be with God again. God is also touching us daily through events and people but does it draw us nearer to Him. It's not how many times we have a profound experience with God, but how we cherish and are grateful to the experience which will ultimately draw us closer to God.
